Bank Holiday, Monday June 3rd in Cork, Ireland

Today I helped out with yardwork at Edel's, to earn my keep, trimming her garden hedges - correction her neighbors hedges that were growing wildly into her property. It was actually nice to feel helpful and busy and have a task to dive into! Afterwards, we visited her sister Mags, who I have also met on prior trips, and we had a relaxing lunch in her backyard and the sun actually blessed us with a lovely warmth and afternoon. Mag's made us their family favorite treat for summer, ice cream wafer sandwiches for dessert and we all toasted are good fortune!

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
